Capcom has recently released the highly anticipated character guide for Rashid in Street Fighter 6. This guide provides players with a detailed breakdown of Rashid’s new mechanics and moves, giving them valuable insight into his playstyle.
One of the key features covered in the guide is Rashid’s signature move, the Spinning Mixer. This attack functions similarly to its counterpart in Street Fighter 5, with slight variations depending on the version used. The light version propels Rashid forward along the ground, while the medium version allows him to soar diagonally through the air. The heavy version, on the other hand, sends him straight up, making it an effective anti-air move.
In addition to the Spinning Mixer, Rashid’s returning move, the Eagle Spike, is also highlighted in the guide. This move launches Rashid forward with varying startup speeds depending on its strength. Mastering the timing of the Eagle Spike will be crucial for players looking to execute effective combo routes.
Another familiar move making its comeback is Rashid’s Whirlwind Shot projectile. However, Capcom has made some changes to this move in Street Fighter 6. Players can now charge up the attack, increasing the number of hits and overall damage. Additionally, fully charging the shots releases a whirlwind that can enhance or alter the properties of Rashid’s subsequent attacks or movement options.
Street Fighter 6 introduces two new specials for Rashid: Arabian Cyclone and Arabian Skyhigh. Arabian Cyclone is a spinning kick that can be followed up with either the Wing Stroke air dash or the Rolling Assault to quickly close the gap between Rashid and his opponents. Arabian Skyhigh, on the other hand, grants Rashid the ability to perform a double jump, a rarity in the Street Fighter series. This allows him to execute aerial attacks with greater maneuverability.
Rashid’s Super Arts are also showcased in the guide. His level 1 Super Art, Super Rashid Kick, boasts invincibility on startup and can be employed as an effective anti-air move. Meanwhile, his iconic V-Trigger from Street Fighter 5, Ysaar, makes a return as his level 2 Super Art in Street Fighter 6. Ysaar not only enhances Rashid’s next specials but also leaves a whirlwind behind, providing additional strategic possibilities. Furthermore, Ysaar increases Rashid’s dash and jump speeds, maximizing his mixup potential.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Rashid’s arsenal is his level 3 Super Art, Altair. This move allows him to magically teleport around his opponent, relentlessly delivering a series of powerful kicks within a gigantic tornado. Altair proves to be a formidable punish against projectiles and guarantees an impactful spectacle for players.
Fans won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on Rashid, as his launch in Street Fighter 6 is scheduled for July 24. For those eager to dive deeper into his moveset, the full character guide for Rashid can be found on Road Rug Cars’ website. With this comprehensive guide at their disposal, players will be well-equipped to excel with the wind warrior in Street Fighter 6.
